Sponsored Seminarians

The Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Council of the Knights of Columbus has the great honor and privilege of sponsoring seminarians as they discern their vocation. The council provides them with a small stipend each year to help them defray personal and professional expenses. Our seminarians are listed below.

Ahn Tran
Mt. Angel Seminary
1 Abbey Dr, St Benedict, OR 97373

My name is Anh Tran, the youngest of six siblings. I was born and raised Catholic. My mom and I immigrated to the United States in late 1999 and attended Federal Way High School in early 2000 as a sophomore. After high-school I entered Highline Community College and finished associate degrees in Biology and Chemistry. I also finished Pharmacy Technician Program at Renton Technical College and began working at Tacoma General Hospital for two years. I began to discern God’s call to the priesthood during these two working years with his spiritual directors Fr. Thanh Dao and Fr. William McKee. I have been studying at Mount Angel Seminary since 2011 and will be graduating from Mount Angel in Summer of 2018. I enjoy playing Table Tennis, flying stunt-kites and spending time with family and friends.

If there is anything else, please let me know, and thank you for your prayer and support.
